artist statement
“So, the world happens twice--
once what we see it as;
second it legends itself
deep, the way it is.”
~William Stafford
Born out of a love for hitting crowded city streets and open country roads, sketchbook in hand, my watercolor paintings feature original works that capture popular northwest imagery: the aesthetic experience of our coastline, farm fields, wine country, pub art, garden art, old barns, the flora and fauna of this beautiful state we call home.
I have been a featured artist at The Parrish Gallery, Chehalem Cultural Center, Artists of Yamhill County Showcase, the Art Harvest Studio Tour, The Newberg Art Walk, Bjornson Winery, The Sage Restaurant, The Narthex Gallery, the Plein Air Lavender Paint Out. I offer watercolor field journal workshops at local venues.
Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing a painting or joining a workshop.
Thank you for visiting. Wishing you peace and love as you journey through this beautiful and complicated world, the way it is.
